Consumer Description

RAW GASOLINE SMELL AFTER DRIVING CAR UPON EXIT. SMELL STRONG ON LEFT SIDE OF CAR, MOST PRONOUNCED BY LEFT REAR WHEEL WELL. PERSISTS FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER CAR IS TURNED OFF. NOT NOTICABLE WHILE CAR IS RUNNING. REPLACED GAS CAP TWICE AND CHARCOAL CANISTER AS WELL AND SMELL STILL OCCURS. APPEARS TO BE THE FUEL FILLER NECK FOR WHICH THERE IS A TOYOTA TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN TO REPLACE IF CORRODED IN FIRST 36,000 MILES. THIS IS QUITE DANGEROUS. CAR COULD EXPLODE. THERE ARE NO LEAKS VISIBLE UNDER THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING THE FUEL FILLER NECK. ONE COULD EASILY MISTAKE THIS FOR AN EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS SYSTEM LEAK, WHILE THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS LEAK. THE FUEL FILLER NECK IS RUBBER.
